Crystal Kay comments on her enduring friendship with BoA and says "She'll always be family to me"

Posted by critical-kpop43 pts Saturday, October 21, 2023


In a recent interview with Forbes, J-Pop artist Crystal Kay shared insightful reflections on her enduring friendship with the iconic BoA, shedding light on their unique bond and mutual journey through the music industry.

“BoA is my sister. I believe she is the pioneer of K-pop in Japan. It was her and Tohoshinki that came into the J-pop scene that really paved the way for the rest that followed. I loved what BoA was doing and the fact that the girl can dance. I was a fan. It turned out we shared the same choreographer, so one day she set up a dinner date for BoA and I to meet. It was so cute, like a first date, we were just two kids, becoming friends and finding familiarity in each other in this industry. I think it’s so special to have peers you can share this journey together with, because being an artist or a performer can be very lonely sometimes."

“I cherish all my friendships I have with fellow artists, especially females. We all have to be each other’s cheerleaders. I am so happy we are still very good friends and sisters who can collaborate and perform together. I had the privilege to join BoA on her 20th anniversary show last year in Tokyo. We performed Universe, of which Verbal and I were the features on. The three on stage again, it was like a family reunion. I respect the hell out of her and her legacy as an artist, a pioneer, and a performer. BoA will always be family to me.”


It's good to see their enduring friendship after all these years.

Crystal Kay! I used to be a big Jpop fan. I've been too into Kpop for years now and not updated on what's new in Jpop. I used to like Crystal Kay's songs. I should get myself familiar with Jpop again.
